OK, i have contemplated with the likely hood that I really, really want a baby boy. I have heard some the strangest things about how to guarantee a boy. Some, I would not let my dog try!! But, from a male nurse, one idea did strike my curiousity. I have several friends who had trouble getting pregnant and did not need fertility drugs, just the right time per se. I remember them running through a list their husbands should not do while, during, or whatever in their process of trying to become with child. One of which, was along the lines of men being in hot tubs or soaking in really hot bath water. Don't remember too much about the female and along them lines until after their were pregnant. So, anyways............the male nurse friend of mine said due to the X sperm being slower and the Y being faster and somewhat stronger, I too remember this in OB, the hot bath or hot tub "soak" for 10 minutes lessens the likely hood of a X chromosome making it to the egg and thus fertilizing it and having a female. Now, I have girls and 1 boy. So, it is not life altering to not have another child at all..............BUT I just have it in my heart that I want another boy. I thought these "feelings" would pass, but the more I have become fixated on the idea. Has any one else heard of this? Am I just reading WWWWWAAYYYYY too much into it because I want a baby boy and see some hope??? Can any one of you OB nurses shed some light on it?????
